Buddhafield New Zealand at Prana Festival for 7th year running

Just ending is New Zealand’s annual Prana Festival - 4 days and nights of more than 100 workshops, music, art, dance, and the Coromandel Peninsula’s pristine Opoutere beach for lazing on, swimming and long walks. And for the 7th year running Buddhafield New Zealand have been there with their Buddhafield Dome space. They say -

The Buddhafield Workshop Dome dominates the area and is surrounded by various shrines, art installations and a Zen Bushwalk. It is open for discovery both day and night and runs a full program of workshops throughout the duration of the festival.

Buddhafield NZ has grown out of these origins and is pleased to be manifesting again this year at Prana for the seventh year running...”

If you missed it this year - look out for 2012! Details at www.prana.co.nz.
